DIY Wedding Sneak Peek

My wedding is coming up in August, it's going to be a small gathering of close family and friends and we can't wait!!  If you know me at all, you know how I love to do everything on my own!  I am a serious DIYer.  So my wedding is no place to skimp out.  I do not want to give away the whole thing to those of you that are coming, but I'll give the others a little sneak peek!
These are my invitations, I am a plain kinda gal, I love the dull look with a little color.  I purchased my card stock from envelopes.com in the color - brown paper bag.  I did have to figure out how to print and cut and everything in order to fit in my envelopes that I bought from envelopes.com too.  They were white linen, and I addressed them all my self in a self taught sort of calligraphy.
Here are my Postcard replies!
Found a wedding party app to have the guests take pics and share with us! (Thanks Pinterest!!)
I found these frames at Michael's Arts and Crafts for $1.00 and cut some scrapbook to fit them and will put a couple pictures of me and the hubby to be
While he was out making a new mailbox post he had some extra wood laying around so I asked him to cut a few cubes for me.  I tea stained each block and used my sharpie paint pen to write Mr. & Mrs. on them 
Found these chalkboards at Michael's Arts and Crafts and I tea stained the frame and used my cricut to cut the numbers out of white vinyl.  These will be the table numbers.  I bought the stands for about $1.00 at the Christmas Tree Shop....Don't you just love a bargain
Who doesn't love a good mason jar!?  Especially when I have about 1200ft of rope laying around that I can wrap around the top.  
Found this lovely box at a Antique shop and used the cricut to print out my banner
Since we are having a private ceremony with a few guests, these will be what we hand out.  Sort of a "program" if you will, but also a fan since we will be outside in the heat!  I found the idea on Pinterest and I chose the fonts and then found a pack of off white cardstock lying around that I printed them on.  I also found popsicle sticks lying around that I tea stained. I then ripped up some fabric I also had laying around and tied a little bow, and VOILA! (Thanks again, Pinterest!!)

My favors/place cards, I cricut cut the tags out of black cardstock and tied some twine and attached them to mini lanterns that will all be lit with the LED light inside purchased from Save-on-Crafts.com (amazing site!) and with my white gel pen I attempted to hand write the names and when I figure out that table they will be at I will put that too!!
I also bought this barrel at the antique shop that will be filled with some flowers.  Isn't she a beauty!
I can't wait!!
